Murai in Love (村井の恋)

Due to the first typhoon of the year,

the class trip to Destinyland was canceled.

No!

I WANT YOU TO BEAR MY HEIR

AWESOME GAME

What was that just now? An illusion?

I Want You to Bear My Heir.

I Want You to Bear My Heir.

I Want You to Bear My Heir.

New fan disc, Sengoku Koi Emaki: I Want You to Bear My Heir!

That title is insane.

By "heir," does that mean...

I guess it means exactly what it sounds like.

Well, it is a game for all ages,

so even if there was a scene where they do it, I'm sure it'd just fade to black.

But fan discs are usually a reward catering to otome gamers' every desire,

allowing them to get married and enjoy life as newlyweds.

So it seems likely that Tanaka-sensei will sleep with Hitotose.

- And the probability? - 100%!

Yeah, well, but it's just happening on-screen,

so it's no big deal, Murai.

Don't underestimate this game.

-Little Sister, do your thing. -Understood.

Sengoku Koi Emaki is a hit series with six titles including this new one.

Its success is due to the outstanding story.

In the otome game industry,

it is said that every work by this writer is guaranteed to be a hit.

They have even written scripts for historical dramas.

In this fan disc, the real challenge would be not sleeping with the characters.

People like you think that otome games are just romance games for women,

but don't trash them without knowing a thing about them.

You don't have to like or understand them,

but you do have to respect it as art that someone devoted their life to creating.

If you can't do that, you have no right to judge anything!

Keep that in mind!

I will keep that in mind.

Now what, Murai?

It's good that you got to eat her cheeks and all,

but if they , it would be a huge win for him.

There seems to be no way to stop it.

You'll have to buy every copy so you're the only one who owns it.

With your family's money, you could do it.

-That's it. - What?

-It was a joke. - That's it, Hirai!

No, that's not it!

I'll own it.

This time, I will not simply imitate Hitotose,

I will absorb Hitotose.

I will possess Hitotose!

Visual for reference only.

Hey! Does that mean you'll sleep with Hitotose too?

I won't do it!

I went along with it last time, but I'm not doing the whole heir thing!

-Kiri... - Kiwi.

I'll stick around as long as you want, Murai.

I'm ready to give birth to around 5,000 babies.

Huh? Then I'm giving birth too. Don't leave me out.

Hitomi, Yuuka, when will the game be released?

Next month.

Preorder complete.

I'm off to school.

Have a good day!

You forgot your bag.

Okay, time for homeroom.

Everyone, put on your clothes and take a seat.

And no fireworks in the classroom.

Huh?

Seated.

Why is everyone seated properly?

Huh?

Right. This is the college prep course.

The culture seems a bit different from the art department or Course B.

Yoshiki Yamakado, 32 years old. Head teacher.

Substitute teacher for class 2-1.

Looks like you were all seated on time. It's actually kind of scary.

Can a couple of you stand up and walk around?

- Yamakado-sensei! -Yes?

-Where is Tanaka-sensei? -She's off.

What? When will she come back?

Calm down.

I want to smack her as much as you do.

Don't lump me in with you!

My bad.

Anyway, Tanaka-sensei's taking time off and I forget when she'll be back.

That should be enough information for you.

What's the reason for her paid leave? A family visit? You know, don't you?

Look, you think I'm a CIA agent or something?

No, not really.

Yeah? That's a huge relief.

Well, I'll get out of here once I finish reading the announcements.

Just bear with me for about 30 seconds.

Man, what the hell?

Just because Tanaka's taking time off,

that guy is totally badgering me. Scary!

Wait, come to think of it, Tanaka's been acting kind of...

Oh, wait a minute...

Yamakado-sensei. 30 seconds have passed.

Without you reading a single announcement.

Well, never mind.

There're no announcements anyway.

By the way, Murai, you got a minute after this?

The fun has arrived.

The fun has arrived!

What did I take paid leave for, you ask?

Why, to indulge in the pleasure of this game, of course!

I don't care if the delivery lady has figured out that I'm an otaku or not.

She and I will both die eventually.

All earthly things are transitory.

So just for now, I want to feel this flicker of life.

In all my life as an otaku, how long have I waited for this moment?

I want to sing a song of appreciation to all the gods around the world!

Now, hit it!

COMMON ROOM

So, you wanted to speak with me?

I'm going to ask you a fairly pointed question.

-Do you like chunky sweet red bean paste? - Yes.

Oh? Sounds like we wouldn't get along. No, not that.

What is it? Have I done something wrong?

No, this is just my well-honed intuition.

Are you and Tanaka a thing?

Excuse me?

Sorry if I'm wrong.

But once you've lived a few decades, you can tell that kind of stuff.

Or is it just me?

You're totally wrong.

Then why are you so upset about her leave?

Because I asked her to review my project

based on my personal research on the history of Japanese food culture.

I see.

That's an excellent excuse considering I asked you out of the blue.

Why are you so certain it's a lie?

Because your shifty eyes are fluttering like a butterfly's wings.

But you have no evidence.

Not yet. That's why I asked you here.

Before you misbehave and leave any evidence.

Lock up those hormonal teenage emotions in the prison of your mind.

Please, wait a minute...

As a minor, you will be protected no matter what,

but Tanaka will be done for.

She will be thrown into an actual prison.

I don't understand any of this.

Who do you think I am?

I may have been chosen by dart throw, but I'm still your head teacher.

Chairman.

Whether it's a pesky brat like you

or Tanaka, with her attitude unbecoming of a new teacher,

my job is to protect you.

My next class is about to start, so please excuse me.

One more thing.

Tell the idiot in Course B you hang out with

to stop watching porn during class.

My head is pounding.

What's wrong? You on your period or something?

Seriously, shut up already.

Yamakado-sensei might have noticed.

Noticed what? You mean me watching porn in class?

-He's definitely noticed that. -Oh, man.

What he might have noticed is my feelings for Sensei.

In fact, he's almost certain of it.

Oh, man, you're screwed. Yamakado... The classical literature teacher?

The calligraphy club advisor and head teacher,

aka Hades, God of the Underworld. In other words, you're dead.

But wait, he's not completely onto you, is he?

He's got no proof, right?

Right, but I had super shifty eyes when I tried to make an excuse.

You won't like this, Hirai, but I've got a good idea.

That's okay. I'm so used to that kind of stuff from you.

That's not okay at all! Screw you!

Why do I have to lend her to Murai to play his girlfriend?

Hey, I don't belong to you. And I'm not an object to be lent.

But are you actually okay with this? He rejected you, remember?

I don't mind.

When your friends are in trouble, it's natural to help them.

Well, I'm not okay with this!

I want to help Murai out, sure, but I love you! Yayoi, you're adorable!

I want to go out with you and do naughty things!

How do you think I feel about you doing that with my best friend?

Oh, come on. I don't know what you're imagining,

but all Murai has to do is show Hades that he has a girlfriend.

None of your delusions are gonna happen.

Shut up. Your smile is sus as hell.

I don't think this is gonna work.

Besides, I don't want to act lovey-dovey with anyone other than Sensei.

Murai, what are you babbling about?

I don't think you understand the situation you're in,

so let me explain.

You're facing execution.

If you don't want the person you love

to be beheaded, you'd better do it.

-Do it. - Yes.

We used to play make-believe when we were kids, remember?

I was the mom and you were the dad.

This is the same thing, just in front of others. Easy, isn't it?

Yes, I am willing to do that.

Then I wanna be the dad's coworker who moonlights as an assassin.

Then I'm gonna be the mom's secret lover.

Okay, let's get this farce over and done with

so we can go to Hirai's and play the otome game!

Yes, sir!

Excuse me!
